Authentic Influence

Edmonton

DIGITAL BRAND STRATEGIST, SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIALIST

Hi, my name is Nicole Bray and I own Authentic Influence. A social media marketing firm where we help brands develop their authentic digital personality online using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social channels.

We are your brand ambassadors who amplify your voice in the online marketplace. We give your potential customers the VIP backstage pass into what it’s like to work with you. And we create raving fans out of the clients you already have.

With experience marketing some of the top brands in Canada: The Fairmont Hotels and Resorts,OMNI TV, Grower Direct and Budget Rentals, we understand the importance of brand standards and can impeccably represent our clients in the social space. This important work involves white glove customer service, weekly on-site visits and ongoing relationship building that help bolster our clients' continued success. We run a free the reins approach where, our clients hand over the social media reins to us and we manage the day to day implementation, content creation, community engagement and analytics, of all their social media channels. We ensure your brand is in the social space with consistent, brand aligned and timely content that resonates in real time for your audience.

I don’t like the lime light myself but I thrive on being the brand champion behind the scenes. I pour myself into creating brand awareness for our clients and love every minute of it. I am steadfast in my commitment to getting our clients brand recognition and connecting them to their genuine supporters, while maintaining integrity, authenticity and transparency.

Another passion of mine is giving back to my community. I volunteer on 2 social media teams: 1: Chief gypsy instagrammer, sharing images of my beloved city of Edmonton with @InstagramYEG, 2: spreading mad skills about social media over breakfast with my crew at @SMBYEG. I am a supporter of the Valley Zoo Development Society, a BAMBassador for Bust a Move Edmonton and hold the social media seat in the BNI Aviators chapter.
